It's been a couple of years since i was back in Sheffield but, only the other day i was talking about cities and towns having a revamp on their infrastructure blah blah.... and i remembered of an old pub in the city centre on the right-hand side as you were leaving Pond St bus station, at the other end was or still is The Penny Black!! What was the name of the other and is it still standing???? The Queens Head or something on that line kinda rings a bell, or am i way off the track!??!!!:huh:

Its the Old Queens Head on Pond Hill, Sheffield

It is The old Queens head and dates back to the 15th century.

Is it still standing or did it go under all the new re-development???

Still standing and very much still open - last time I called in they had a decent selection of Thwaites cask beers. :)

Compliments of;.wikipedia.org

The Old Queen's Head is a public house on Pond Hill in the City of Sheffield, England that occupies the oldest domestic building in the city. This timber framed building is thought to date from c.1475, although the earliest known written record of it is in an inventory compiled in 1582 of the estate of George Talbot, the 6th Earl of Shrewsbury that included the furnishings of this building, which was then called "The hawle at the Poandes". As a part of the Earl's estate, it may have been used as a banqueting hall for parties hunting wildfowl in the nearby ponds. These ponds, which formed in the area where the Porter Brook meets the River Sheaf, are now gone, but are commemorated in the local names Pond Street, Pond Hill (formerly Pond Well Hill) and Ponds Forge. By the beginning of the 19th century the building was being used as a residence. In 1840 a pub called the Old Queen's Head was opened in the neighbouring building, and sometime after 1862 the pub expanded into this building. The building was given Grade II* listed status in 1952. The pub was refurbished in 1993, and is now part of the Tom Cobleigh chain. The Queen in the pub's name is likely Mary, Queen of Scots who was imprisoned in Sheffield from 1570 to 1584.

Oldest secular building in Sheffield I think

I'll have to have me a cold pint in there next weekend on my quick visit to the homeland now i know it's still there!!!!!:thumbsup:
